Go Fly a Kite Arthur

# Every day, when you're walkin' down the street

# Everybody that you meet

# Has an original point of view

-# And I say, hey!

-Hey!

# What a wonderful kind of day If we can learn to work and play

# And get along with each other

# You gotta listen to your heart Listen to the beat

# Listen to the rhythm The rhythm of the street

# Open up your eyes! Open up your ears!

# Get together and make things better by working together

# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart

# Oh, believe in yourself For that's the place to start

-# And I say, hey!

-Hey!

-What a wonderful kind of day

# If we can learn to work and play And get along with each other

# What a wonderful kind of day, hey! What a wonderful kind of day, HEY! #

Hey, DW!

-Hey!

-Whoa!

CRASH!

Hey! 25 cents. Someone must have dropped it.

Well, it's mine now. Or is it?

Someone else had this quarter before me

-and I will probably pass it on to another person.

-Like your sister!

I just remembered, you owe me 10 cents from two years ago.

I don't have any change,

-but this should cover the interest that you owe me.

-And this sweater?

My grandma gave it to me,

but I bet you DW will get it when I grow out of it,

-and Kate will get it after her.

-No way!

We're never going to wear that. It is way too Arthur-y!

If you think about it, who really owns anything?

Check out that kite!

It's beautiful.

Golf is all about control.

You have to hit the ball just right.

And that is an example of how not to do it.

You should be taking notes.

Got you!

Hey!

You shouldn't have moved my ball. Now it's out of play.

Well, your ball scared away my Monarch butterfly.

-Keep it down, I'm trying to read.

-In a tree?

-Why not?

It's shady and quiet. Unless there is a golfer

and a butterfly catcher chin-wagging by the roots.

Look, it's a bull-fighter's cape stuck in a tree!

-That is not a bull-fighter's cape.

-It is just a kite.

-Here, give me that golf club.

-It is not a club, it is a putter.

Almost!

There. Now we can go on a quest to find the owner.

Fight off dragons and spies and collect a big reward.

I'm not really dressed for a quest.

Can't we just skip to the reward part?

-Come on, guys, where is your sense of adventure?

-OK, we get it.

-Where are you going?

-No-one will see the kite on the ground,

we'll have to fly it so the owner can find it.

On your marks, get set, go!

-Faster, faster!

-I was made to run companies, not races!

-Ladies and gentlemen, we have lift-off!

-It sure flies well!

I call next turn!

Tell Bailey our golf lesson's over

and ask him to bring over the sandwiches.

I haven't flown a kite in years. I forgot how much fun it is.

That's not just any old kite.

Back home, we call kites that fly like that majestic wind-eaters.

-You just made that up, didn't you?

-Kind of.

What do we do with it? The owner never came back.

Finders keepers, I guess.

Yes, and since I was the first one who saw it...

Wait a second, this wouldn't have happened

if I hadn't hit my ball over here.

-Well, I was the one who got it down from the tree.

-With MY golf club.

Guys, guys, come on. There's no reason to fight.

There's a simple, mature solution to this - I'll keep the kite!

BOTH: No way!

OK, OK, let's just share it.

We will each take it for a week and then switch.

A time-share is a great idea.

I will have Daddy's lawyer draw up a contract.

Thank you, Walter.

It's exactly what we talked about,

just written in a way no-one can understand.

Sign by the X.

So, who gets to have the kite first?

Longest straw goes first, middle goes second, shortest goes last.

Woo-hoo! Yes! Binky beats them all!

He came, he saw, he picked the longest straw!

See you later, 'gators.

I've got a kite to fly, I've got a kite to fly.

THUNDER RUMBLES

Aw. I'm sure it'll be sunny tomorrow.

-Wear your snorkel this week cos it's rain, rain, rain.

-Huh?

Don't worry, this guy never gets it right.

THUNDER RUMBLES

Curse you, weather man!

Oh.

Curse you, weather man.

HE GASPS

-Ready?

-Ready.

-You're doing something wrong.

-I'm just letting it go like you told me.

-Well, then why isn't it flying?

-I don't know.

Maybe because there's no wind?

SHE CLEARS THROAT

I hate to interrupt, but according to my calendar

-your kite-time is officially up.

-But...

I didn't even get to fly it once. Can I have one more day?

Sorry, a deal's a deal.

-Unless...

-Just name it. I'll give you anything.

Thanks again, Walter.

So, this rider to the contract will trade you one of my kite-flying

-days for two of yours when your turn comes around again.

-Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, whatever. Where do I sign?

Please, please, please, let there be a breeze.

THUNDER RUMBLES

Noooooo!

Maybe you'll have better luck in, let's see, um, 16 days from now.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Hi, Chip. Did you make the JD badminton team? No way!

And we even donated a swimming pool to that school.

I'm going to tell Daddy we should take it back. Me?

Actually, I'm flying this amazing kite we found.

Hold on, I'll take a picture and send it to you.

SHE GASPS Oh, no!

It's flying away!

Bailey, quick! Do something!

COW MOOS

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Oh, well. Thanks for trying, Bailey.

SHE SIGHS

Looks like the kite's gone for good.

I wonder what Binky and Ladonna will say.

You're in breach of contract, whatever that means.

I'm going to sue your pigtails off.

I thought you were my friend

but friends don't just lose majestic wind-eaters.

I want to go back to Louisiana.

I don't know but it isn't going to be pretty.

-Maybe I don't have to tell them.

-Uh-oh.

-I know that look, you're up to something.

-Me? Of course not.

I just have a little shopping to do.

Hi, Bailey.

When you get down from the mountain, could you pick me up

at the Sugar Bowl?

SHE GASPS

You better stay close by, Bailey.

I may need help consoling Ladonna when I tell her that I lost the...

SHE GASPS The kite! I don't believe it!

It's a miracle and just on the day when I thought...

What you doing over here?

I thought we were supposed to meet by the tree.

Hey, you shouldn't fly it by these bushes, it could get torn.

Don't worry, majestic wind-eater, I'm going

to take really good care of you.

Well, see you in a week. I hope you had fun.

Oh, yeah, it was a blast.

I'll show you guys some tricks. I call this the Compson Camel twist.

And this one is the Louisiana Loop-De-Loop.

RUSTLE

What are you doing here? It's my turn.

But I get two days off your week, remember?

-Binky asked me for an extra day.

-Can I have one too?

I didn't get to fly it all. It just came back from the repair shop.

-The repair shop?

-Um, yeah, but it's all fixed up now...

You broke the kite?!

That means you owe each of us three days. Didn't you read your contract?

There is nothing in here that says

-when I have to give back your two days.

-The kite was broken.

-Now it's fixed. Show me where it says...

-Here!

-In paragraph four, sub-heading A...

-I don't care!

-You can have your days back in December.

-What?

December of next year.

THEY SHOUT OVER EACH OTHER

Quiet! You're making too much noise, it's hurting my ears.

This is my kite.

I lost it 22 days ago, on Saturday at 11:15 in the morning.

It has a scar in it but that's OK. I'm going to go fly it now.

-Well, I guess we found the owner.

-It's gone for good now.

And we could have all been flying it right now instead of arguing.

If you want, you can fly the kite with me

but you have to be quiet and I get to go first.

I've flown this kite 205 times and I never get tired of flying it.

I don't like to do too many fancy moves.

Just hold on tight and let the wind take it everywhere.
